    Great food, well prepared and presented. Excellent service. Nice wine list too. I discovered white wine from a new (to me) region of Italy. A16 is one of two main our go-to places on College Ave. Thanks for a great birthday celebration for four of us all with June birthdays!!

    It takes a bit before the waitress comes to the table. We ordered an item after confirming it was veg but there was meat in there when it arrived. One of the appertizers we ordered never arrived. Pizza was average, I have had better margherita pizza elsewhere. Not worth the hype or the price.

    Excellent pizza. Nice ambience. Arugula salad was a good concept, but drowning in dressing. Good, interesting, selection of wines by the glass. Somewhat expensive for a casual pizza-based restaurant.

    Pasta dough was dense and overworked. Pizza dough was undercooked in the middle. The burrata didn’t come with enough bread to finish the cheese. The anchovies had no business being in the little gem salad; save it for the Cesar orders.

    Our group initially booked outdoor seating since we were dining with two infants. However the weather wasn’t too great and so our hostess graciously accommodated us inside and even in a private area that wasn’t being used that evening, which I personally appreciated a lot since infant behavior can be unpredictable. Our server was patient with us and our children and checked on us constantly. We felt seen, assisted, and not judged. That alone will spur us to return but on top of that, the food was terrific!

    Not sure what was going on. Our first entree arrived solo, followed 10 minutes later by one more meal and then we waited another 20 minutes before the remaining 4 dinners were served. Not one person from the restaurant seemed concerned, apologetic, or came to let us know what was going on. The pork entree was ENTIRELY gristle with a bone in it. They finally agreed that there was no meat on the plate and took the meal off the bill. However they still found it appropriate to change us the 20% gratuity for a party of 6. Think twice before booking.
